7.5 EXTERNAL SIGNAL INTERFACE (EXT) (Cont'd)
7.5.2 Pin Assignments
*1. Pin 6: Select one of four [PREND] output signals (Refer to “External signal type” in [Section 7.5.1 Basic
Specifications
).
*2. By setting SW4 to the side of [2-3], the printer operates by supplying power from EXT5V_IN(Pin 8).
By setting SW4 to the side of [1-2], the printer operates by supplying power internally.
*3. By setting SW3 to the side of [1-2], the printer operates as “output - offline”.
By setting SW3 to the side of [2-3], pin 9 works as an input.
*4. In the service mode, the signal output direction can be changed to pin 9 or 10.
If selecting pin 9 while the external signal and the output signal for the end of label dispensing are enabled,
toggling online and offline statuses will not output a signal.
[Important]
External signal may become unstable for approximately 1 second after turning on the printer. Wait for 1
second or more before you start controlling the signal.
